The warranty they list on their website is basically worthless—full of holes and fine print that let them wiggle out of helping. Dropped four grand on an engine that started making a racket right after installation, even though everything was done right by a pro mechanic. They dragged their feet with emails for weeks, then said nope, not covering it under warranty. Waste of money. Won't be going back there again.

Exactly what they promised—great help loading everything up, and they even threw in a 90-day warranty on the engine. Wouldn’t hesitate to buy from them again or tell others to check them out for motors and transmissions.

Jim made buying our transmission a breeze. He walked us through everything, answered every dumb question we had, and never once tried to upsell us. The whole process took way less time than it should have because he actually knew what we needed. Super grateful for how straightforward he was. If you want someone who won't waste your time, Jim's your guy.

Saved thousands by buying a JDM engine from these guys instead of overpaying at the dealer. The long block fired right up, no issues so far. Just remember to swap over anything that didn't come with the long block. Haven't had to use the extra year warranty yet, but if I do I'll update how they handle it. Thanks to Jim and the crew at JDMOrlando for hooking me up.

I stopped by to check if a bracket I printed would fit, and the guys there were super cool about it. They didn’t just humor me—they actually helped me figure it out, even though I wasn’t buying anything. Treated me like a real customer the whole time. If you’re hunting for an engine, these are the people to call. No question.

Jim and his team are solid. Every time we need an engine or transmission for a JDM swap—or even something else—they’ve got it. And if they don’t? Forget it, it doesn’t exist. That’s how good they are.

Called about a 2003 WRX STI engine, got quoted $1,200. Drove all the way from Tampa to pick it up, and when I got there, they put some random Legacy motor on my trailer. The guy who helped me first was trying to help, but the other one? Not so much. I’ve been coming here for years, even sent customers their way, but after wasting 5 hours of my day driving back and forth, I’m done. The price jumped to $1,900 because “no one else had it,” but I know better. This was the last time.

Got exactly what I needed—no surprises, no hassle. The engine I bought was in great shape, just like the listing said, and it’s been running flawlessly since I installed it. The whole process was smooth: quick answers when I had questions, no runaround, and they even loaded it up for me in under 20 minutes. If you’re looking for a used engine and want it done right, this is the place. I’ll be back next time I need parts. ---

These guys make buying engines easy. I’ve gotten multiple ones from them over the years, and not once have I had a single issue. What really stuck with me? Years after I bought one, I needed my old invoice for an insurance claim after a wreck. They dug it up for me no problem. For JDM motors and transmissions, I’m not looking anywhere else. ---

After years of dealing with sketchy auto part places, JDM Orlando actually delivered. Called Jim, told him what I needed, and a week later, I drove down to pick up a motor, transmission, and harness. Here’s the thing—I messed up and ordered the wrong part. Instead of giving me grief, Jim let me swap it out no problem. The guy took his time helping me find the right engine, even when I was being picky. That’s the kind of service you don’t find often. I’m already planning my next trip there, and I’ll be sending everyone I know their way. ---
